Orange County, CA writers' community

21 July meeting notes; 28 July reading list

Eleven people attended (that’s more like it): Burt, Casey (read the second chapter of Francine Stein), Glenda, JoAnne (read the beginning of a short story/novella Laundering the Dirt), Jonathan, Lance, Maddie, Melodye, Rosie, Shari (read two chapters from Lost in Dance) and Stace.

News & Notes

Jonathan shared a story structure technique posted in The Intern blog: highlighting a work’s text in different colors depending on the purpose of that text (dialog, action, decisions, etc.). The Intern used a chapter from Hunger Games as an example.
